Now i pretty much knew this wasn't going to work but did want to get and actual view of how the new camaro wheels would look a Gbody. I really didnt think they would look good on it, and in my opinion, i was right. Now of course there was a bunch of rub in the rear and i didnt even bother with the front. Yes there was a 1.25 inch spacer used.

I think that's a good looking wheel on there. If it was to fit I wouldn't mind a set on my cutty 😀

I think that have to modern of a look for the car, but thats my opinion. could also be that the color didnt go quite well either.
 
I've wondered how these wheels would look on my regal, I don't think they are half bad if you ask me.
 
i dont think the wheels look good on a Gbody.
Our cars look so much better with "old school" type wheels. Wheels that are concave, or deep dish, look like they belong, more so than high offset, modern wheels.

I needed the spacers for them to bolt up. Now just because they bolt up doesnt mean that they fit. When i drop the car on its own weight there was alot of rub on the frame. You have to remember, the tire on that rear wheel is a 275 kinda BIG for a stock setup. I might have liked them is i didnt have so much chrome on my car. but even if i did, there would definitely need a few mods before they bolt up and are drivable
 
Did you use the 9" wide REAR wheel,or an 8" front wheel? I would think you could use the 8" fronts all around. I put a set of 4 on my '64 Impala project and they fit fine.......btw,for you Pontiac owners,you get the center cap from a Solstice......I have a set in my truck. 18's and 19's would work from a G8 also. (thats what we put the Camaro wheels on) On G8's you have to run a lower profile tire because the factory Camaro tires are huge. I want to see more pics,you can score a set of these for about $300-$500 usually on the Camaro forums,same for the G8 wheels.

I kinda liked the way they look. I do agree with another post about older wheels looking better, but I'll ad, better than a lot of newer wheels, but not all of them. Some look pretty good for a factory wheel. Most new wheels lack some sort of eye catching style tho. I have a few different Firebird factory designs I've set in the wheel wells of my GP. I didn't like them on my Firebirds, liked them even less on the GP.
